Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The cost of the Black reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ramsey.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
A clean, defensible pick in pick 36 with a little surplus value in Denzel Boston. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Lee Hunter at pick No. 67 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Somehow Treydan Stukes was still sitting there in the 102nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
You do not let a safety like Kamari Ramsey reach Round 4, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
The board fumbled Tacario Davis all the way to No. 134, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at slot 175 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Nowakowski this early at the 185th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Aiden Fisher
A wild overpay on Aiden Fisher in No. 208, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They talked themselves into Eli Heidenreich at pick No. 219, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
